one of these days I am going to set out some chocolate covered almonds where elk are known to hang out...take some one out to show them..grab a handfull eat em..and say...yup thats elk..

Fred's having fun because he doesn't like the player and obviously many sneer at hunting (and some hunters) in general but it's not like the holy roller is going to get booed every time he touches the puck at GM Place now.

This is a non-story that would be buried by now if we had an NHL season to talk about.

Yep !!

I know lots of friends that hunt and as you say as long as the meat is used. But to be honest this guy doesn't need to supplement his groceries by going hunting, lots of people do and i have no problem with that. Mr Booth does it for fun not the meat. He likes the Elk /Goat head in his rec room and rest his feet on a bear rug so it's some what different I suppose. He'll grow up eventually or need to build a new rec room at the rate he's going. I don't believe there's any connection with the need for food and his exploits. I've enjoyed moose, cariboo, elk and deer very tasty.

Sea lice..... pubic lice what's the difference eh Pacific Blue ?

Sea Lice??? No skin off my back blobby bear, probably a healthier choice over the nuclear radiated fish in the Pacific Ocean. That being said, a little sea lice ain't half as bad as what goes on in chicken slaughtering houses, pig farms, Ecoli Beef etc. Don't be so blind my man and stop picking on the Atlantic Farmed Salmon.

I guess I just have less an opinion about the order of the food chain, than the hypocracy that comes from some posters...seriously, who here grows/gathers/hunts/kills/cleans/stores 100% of thier own food? you are either the bug or the windshield. The rest is semantics (semantics that smart people make money on)

how were those chicken wings the other night anyways?

as long the masses pay for food, humans will process it.

thats just the way it is.

The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

I remember seeing a documentary, can't remember, something like 60 Minutes, years ago, about the shit that gets in our cereal during the processing. They ran a whole bunch of tests, etc. It was quite disgusting, made you want to swear off cereal forever.

Anyone seen Food Inc.? Makes a little Sea Lice seem rather harmless.
